Disable or re-map Hot-Key? [Resolved]
How do I disable or re-map hot-keys? I have accidentally pressed the 'e' key ... I really just want to disable the 'e'.

1. Find a flat, metallic object. A butter knife will do well.
2. Pry up the E key.
3. Pry up any other key of the same size.
4. Interchange said keys.
Viola! You are done.

Re: Disable or re-map Hot-Key?
Because this really was bugging me and physically changeing the keys wouldn't help :-) (I don't look at my keyboard enough, that is the real problem) here is a cheesy hack that will re-map your 'e' key to 'r' ... so if you press 'e' you get the recruitment page. 'Cheesy' because it re-maps your entire XWindows session.
This only works on Linux ...
Script 1, change 'e' to 'r'
no_e_key.bash:
#!/bin/bash
xmodmap -e "keycode 26 = 0x0072" # make e --> r
And when you want your 'e' back:
yes_e_key.bash:
#!/bin/bash
xmodmap -e "keycode 26 = 0x0065" # make e --> e
Also, if you logout of your XWindows session the original settings will be back.

Re: Disable or re-map Hot-Key?
You could always include it in your xwindows startup script.
Yay! Another reason that Linux rules. 
I would have been really surprisd if there was no way to do it in linux.

Re: Disable or re-map Hot-Key?
Use remapkey.exe for any systems using a Microsoft operating system. Very easy to use and no editing of the registry or yanking out keys from the keyboard.
Fun tool to play a trick on your friends too.

I think this would be to agressive, but just create a dom3 startscript with it.
something like this:
#!/bin/bash
xmodmap -e "keycode 26 = 0x0072" # make e --> r
./dom3_x86 #here you need the right path
read # just that it waits after the game started
xmodmap -e "keycode 26 = 0x0065" # make e --> e |
